Autumn Dynasty Warlords Review

Review of Autumn Dynasty Warlords powered by the Slant community.

Autumn Dynasty Warlords is a unique take on the 4X genre which is overcrowded with sci-fi settings. Instead, the game chooses for a feudal-type setting in China which makes for an interesting and refreshing experience. Although the traditional 4X-RTS is present, Autumn Dynasty Warlords also features real-time battles which makes it one of the most interesting strategy games in the App Store.

Great controls
